Simon, a black lab, went missing and his owners are desperately trying to find him. He took off on Saturday and so far the Baltesz family has had no luck finding him. They decided to try a different tack than just searching and putting up posters, they’re using urine.

A family desperate to find their missing dog have taken to spraying their urine around the neighbourhood to guide him home.

So the family of four have been filling their bottles and spraying them at strategic points in the neigbourhood to get Simon back.

The family told ThisisBristol.co.uk: “He never did learn how to go through a door without knocking everything and everyone and skated about on our kitchen floor as if it were ice.

“We even miss his whining and door scratching from downstairs at first light.”

I know how devastating it is when your dog gets loose and you can’t find him. Bo, our Hairy Houdini, had his share of escapes but luckily when he was done exploring he walked to the front door and barked to be let in. We hope Simon safely finds his way home soon.
